Search and Social Edition: Content Curation Done Right

The overwhelming amount of information we have to deal with nowadays gave birth to a great concept: Content creation. The open nature of the web and how we communicate with this content is a unique force that has never been seen throughout history. But once the content has been created, what do you do with it? More importantly, how do we filter out the useless or irrelevant content while keeping the best?

This brings us to content curation, the next step in the evolution of information on the web. Whether it is a blog post, news article, infographic, video or anything else, it has to be monitored for quality. Once something with real share value has been found, it has to be cataloged, categorized and put somewhere that others can easily find it. It is the job of the content curator to do this.
